ThisDay reports that the president went to the hospital on Thursday, December 28 and expressed his unhappiness that his son’s security details allowed him out on a bike at the time of the night.
A source claimed that Yusuf had to be induced into a coma due to the severity of the accident.
The source said: “The president was at the hospital on Wednesday night. He was very devastated when he saw his son, Yusuf, in a very critical situation. He was shaking his head, while looking at his son and thereafter angrily reprimanded his security officials for allowing Yusuf to leave home at that time of the day for power-bike racing.
He added: “From the way the president spoke, it appears the security aides are in trouble. He spoke angrily. The Minister of Interior, Lt-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd); his FCT ministry counterpart, Alhaji Mohammed Bello; and the Senate President’s wife, Mrs. Toyin Saraki; stayed throughout the night of Tuesday till Wednesday at the hospital with Hajia Aisha Buhari.
“While the doctors were working to stabilise him, Dambazau kept appealing to the doctors to do everything possible to stabilise Yusuf, saying the president would find it very difficult to bear the pain if anything happens to his son.’’
“Yes, the president had directed that Yusuf be treated at this hospital for now. In any case he is still in coma with serious pain; so, he cannot survive long-flight for now. He still needs few days to come out of the coma before any consideration of flying him out of the country for more medical attention.”
NAIJ.com had reported that there was anxiety on Thursday, December 28, over the medical condition of Yusuf Buhari.
NAIJ.com gathers that at Cedarcrest Hospital where the president’s son underwent a surgical procedure, top dignitaries, besides his parents, had stopped by to see him.
